Along those same lines, we have a bunch of permalinks floating about with the current mailing list. The permalink is available in hyperkitty UI, as well as a header in the mails. For example the email I'm replying to has header: Archived-At: <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EMXAAJU2KVICBYUQ5DF5IELVAGGMZWOX/> Ideally these get preserved somehow. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
